mines is all wire on front and dont cause any wet droppings .As long as its dry inside

 

and the birds are not walking about wet floors all day

[stantheman]

if its really exposed to the weather and the rains driving in I would screen the front off with something that lets air in but keeps most of the rain out theres plenty of stuff that you can use rain deflection netting from garden centres also the stuff builders use on scaffolding is ok and does the job

mines is completely closed in apart from vents,have a corridor and open the main doors on good dry days,i think it depends a lot on the way your loft is facing jmo

mines faces noth east Martin, floor to ceiling wire on front but dont get rain in,

 

gets a bit baltic somtimes for me when you get a north east wind but it dont bother the birds  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Humidity is very bad for pigeons, whereas fresh air is essential for their health. Your open front will be good for them but if you have wet inside it will ruin your chances. But, before you jump to conclusions, you should get the droppings checked. They could have worms or cocci.
